Be it known that I, Enwmam, residing at Niagara Falls, in the county of Niagara and State of New York, have m- I vented certain new-and useful Improvements in Manifolding Sales-Books, of which the following'is a full, clear, and exact descri tion, such as will enable others skilled in t e art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to sales books and the like. One of the objects thereof is to provide a simple and eflicient device of the above nature in which features of prior constructions conducive to rapid and convenient manipusuch additional elements or features that many of the defects inherent in former devices are done away with.

Other objects will be in part obvious'and in art pointed out hereinafter.

he invention accordingly consists in the features of construction, combinations of elements and arrangement of parts which will be exemplified in the construction hereinafter set forth, and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the followin claims, 4

In t e accompanying drawing, wherein is shown one of various possible embodiments of my invention,Figure 1 is a perspective view thereof, showing the same in extended conditions Fig. 2 is a detail elevation taken centrally throu hout a portion of 1. Fig. 3 is a detafi plan of a portion of 1g. 1 upon a larger scale, certain arts bemg broken away in order to show't e construction more clearly. a

Similar reference characters refer to simi lar arts throughout the several views of the rawing.

Referring now to Fi 1 of the drawing, there is shown a rigid ack 1 secured to a holder or cover 2 and having connected therewith as at-3 a transfer sheet 4. Mount ed upon back 1 is a pad 5, the leaves of whic are connected end to end in a continuous strip and form longitudinally disposed original and duplicate leaves 6 and 7 respective y.- The material of the pad at the pointsof connection is weakened as at 8 and 9 to ermit their detachment from. the pad and t e separation of the original from the duplicate copy.

the pad are provided with registering slits '10, and through the stub end of the pad is passed a retaining member, in this case a staple,- 11, the upperends 12 of which are bent toward one another, as is best shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings. This staple passes beneath backl and cover 2, and its wardiy-extending arms extend throu h material of the make an ent within the sheet 4 is fol ed u cate leaf '7 and t e agamst the transfer SCll'tiOIl made upon the a per surface of the eaf 6 will be .transmitte to the leaf porbook, the transfer 11 the uppermost-duplileaii portion 6 turned are then drawn back and tornalong the 9, and ma separated one from another along the me 8 and any desireddisposition ,13.and the leaf portion 6 lyin below the same rsi'likew'ise freed from t'e staple '11 prior, to separation along the line 9. The nextlea'f for the insertion of the transfer sheet 4, and another entry may he made by a repetition of the above cycle of operations;

a device in which the objects of. my invention are accomplished and the advantages above -enumemte'd are, among others, pres. ent. Thebook, while utilizing the prmciple of those of the 'so-called. continuous type, is neverthelfesssecurely held in compact form. The separation of the leaves, moreoveri by reason oi the relation thereto of the The entire device issimpla, inexpensive and e'flicient, and well suited to meet the demands of practical use.

As many changes could be made in the above construction and many -a parently widely 'diif erent embodiments of t is invention could be made without departin from the scope thereof, it is intended that a lmat- Patented Oct. 25, 1910.

means whereby as each lea the pad the slit formed therein ,will aid inter contained in the above description or shown in the accom anying drawings shall be interpreted as il ustrative and not in a limiting sense. It is also to be understood that the language used in the following claims is intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described and all statements of the sec e of the invention, which, as a matter of anguage, might be said to fall therebetween.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: a

1. In a device of the class described, in combination, a padcomprising a plurality of superimposed leaves connected to one another along weakened lines, and holdin means comprising a pair of members space from one another and extending throu h said ad at a point ofi'set from said wea ened ines and projecting above the surface of said ad, the leaves of said pad being weakened between said s aced memberslto aid in the removal of sai holding means.

- 2. In a device of the class described leaves from said combination, a pad comprising a plurality of leaves, and holding means extending through and bent directly over the upper leaf 0- the pad, the leaves of said pad belng slit beneath the overlying fportion of sai is drawn from its removal from said holding means.

3. In a device of the class described, in combination, a pad, a member extending through and bent over the upper surface of said pad, the leaves of said pad being weakened beneath the overlying portion of said member, and a transfer sheet mounted upon a pad in a position to be insertedbetween said leaves and free from connection with the bent portions of said member.

4. In a device of the class described, in

combination, a pad comprising a plurality of superimposed leaves connected to one another along weakened lines, and a pair. of members pro'ecting through said ad at a oint ofl'set 'rom said weakened lines and aving their ends bent one toward the other, the ends of said member being spaced one from another and the leaves of said pad being weakened beneath said bent portions of sand members.

5. Inc. device of the class described, in combination, a pad comprising a plurality of superimposed leaves connected to one another along weakened lines, and a pair of members projecting through said ad and having their ends bent one toward t e other, the ends of said members being spaced one from another and the leaves of said pad being slit beneath said bent portions of said members.

scenes 6: In a device of the class described, in combination, a pad the leaves of which are provided with re istering slits, and a pair of members extending through said pad adjacent to and spaced from the ends of said slits, said members being so formed and disposed as to project over the upper surface of said pad in a plane substantially parallel with the plane of said Pad.

9. In a device of the class described, in combination, a pad comprising a plurality of leaves connected end-to end ina continuous strip, and a member extending through said leaves adjacent one end thereof and bent toward the upper surface thereof, said leaves being provided withregistering slits extending ad acent said bent portion.

10. In a device of the class described, in combination, a pad comprising a plurality of leaves connected end to end in a contmu ousstrip, and a staple the ends of which exbeneath tend upwardly through said pad adjacent leaves being provided with registering slits extending beneath said bent portions of said staple.

11. In a device of the class described, in combination, a pad comprising a plurality of leaves connected end to end in a cont1nu ous strip, and a staple the ends of which extend u wardly through said pad adjacent one en thereof and are bent toward one another 11 on the upper surface or the'pad, said leaves ing provided with registering slits extending beneath said bent portions of said staple, and said slits being so formed and disposed as to leave an integral ortion of each leaf between the end of its slit and the adjacent portion of the staple passing throu h the ad.

12. In a evice of the class described, in combination, a pad comprising a plurality of leaves connected end to end in a continuous strip, a staple the'ends of which extend upward y through said pad adjacent one end backtosaid pad. I I
